Maxwell Gets Vulnerable Once Again on ‘Gods’

We're a week away from the new R&B elder's newest album

July will open up with blackSUMMERS’night, Maxwell’s fifth studio album. The fast-approaching LP is his first in seven years, so what’s another week? Well, if you’re still too anxious, feast on “Gods,” a fresh track that was teased way back in 2013 via an unfinished snippet, and is now finally available to stream in full.

Maxwell’s music has always been naturally intimate, and this newest number doubles down on that signature vulnerability: “If you want you can fly, you can float / You can walk, you can do what you want.” Get swept up below.
